A 24-hour lockdown has been imposed on Baish in Jizan, as The Kingdom continues efforts to curb COVID-19.

Effective from Tuesday, the public does not have permission to enter or leave the area, and residents can only leave their homes for essential purposes, which include buying food and medical reasons.

To that effect, all commercial activities have been banned, excluding medical facilities, pharmacies, food stores, gas stations and a number of other essential services.

Essential workers are permitted to move around within the region.
